Another exciting project is the redevelopment of<br />
Germiston into an administrative headquarters for<br />
the city, with other precincts following a similar<br />
path. The Kempton Park-to-Germiston corridor<br />
aims to develop a new urban core and central<br />
business district for a metro that was formed out<br />
of nine small towns, each with its own business<br />
district. The precinct comprises 10 major projects<br />
which are mostly owned by the city – the court<br />
is owned by national government and one is privately<br />
owned. Projects include a new administration<br />
building, hotel and conference centre, knowledge<br />
centre and magistrates square. Partnership<br />
between the public and private sector will be<br />
important in enabling these developments.<br />
With this initiative and others like it, city planners<br />
are expanding the horizon that will see Ekurhuleni<br />
blossom into a prosperous region for all its citizens.<br />
PROFILE<br />
Investment facilitation<br />
The city has an Investment and Development<br />
Facilitation Strategic Policy Framework, which has<br />
been developed to improve turnaround times in<br />
facilitating and decision-making on investment and<br />
development applications, thus improving the city’s<br />
investment-friendly environment.<br />
The city boasts a business and investment onestop-shop<br />
established within the city’s Aerotropolis<br />
core. The Ekurhuleni <strong>Business</strong> Facilitation Network is<br />
situated in Kempton Park and houses the business<br />
centre to support local enterprise development and<br />
the investment centre (EIC).<br />
The Ekurhuleni Investment Committee meets twice<br />
a month to appraise and provide technical support<br />
including pre-application support to mega investment<br />
and development applications.<br />
The EIC also provides aftercare to newly established<br />
and existing businesses within the city. The centre<br />
collaborates with various provincial and national<br />
departments to provide unmatched facilitation of<br />
investments and developments within the city and<br />
support to local businesses.<br />
